Running the Eseutil command on each Exchange database to verify database whitespace

could you offer guidance on step by step how to check the the whitespace on multipe database on server using Eseutil command /MS for exchange 2013

HI Andy,
Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | Sort-Object DatabaseSize -Descending | Format-Table Name, DatabaseSize, AvailableNewMailboxSpace
THis will give you the following info:
Where availablenewmailboxspace (last collum) is white space.
Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you. Thank you! Off2work

How can I check whitepace in a database?
You will need to dismount the database and use ESEUTIL /MS to check the available whitespace in a database. For an example, see
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996139(v=EXCHG.65).aspx (note that you have to multiply the number of pages by 32K).
Note that there is a status property available on databases within Exchange 2010, but it should not be used to determine the amount of total whitespace available within the database:
Get-MailboxDatabase MDB1 -Status | FL AvailableNewMailboxSpace
AvailableNewMailboxSpace tells you is how much space is available in the root tree of the database. It does not factor in the free pages within mailbox tables, index tables, etc. It is not representative of the white space within the database

Running the same sql script in multiple databases

Hello,
What is the method to run the same sql script in multiple databases? I want to write a unix script that would select from different databases and run a sql/plsql script in those different databases. What are the ways to write such a unix script? Thank you in advance.

Just have a parameter which takes in the oracle connection parameters and use it in your sqlplus script with your shell script.
Your sqlplus script can have a procedure/function call or an anonymous block;
Then have a wrapper script to call the original script with different connection parameters. Hope this helps.

Error Running the following command - "ipsadmin change component iwtUserInfoProvider iwtUserInfoProvider.xml". Please help?

I am trying the run the ipsadmin command as follows:
"ipsadmin change component iwtUserInfoProvider iwtUserInfoProvider.xml"
And I am getting the following error:
"Profile change failed. More info: com.iplanet.portalserver.ipsadmin.Component"
I just added some more attributes to the xml file
that look like these :
<!- BEGIN NEW ATTRIBUTES -->
<iwt:Att name="iwtUserInfoProvider-EntryDN"
     desc="Entry DN"
     type="string"
idx="a204"
     userConfigurable="TRUE">
     <Val>New</Val>
     <Rperm>ADMIN</Rperm><Rperm>OWNER</Rperm>
     <Wperm>ADMIN</Wperm><Wperm>OWNER</Wperm>
</iwt:Att>
<!- END NEW ATTRIBUTES -->
Question:
1. What did I do wrong?
2. Is there a log file that stores the ipsadmin
errors?
./ipsadmin -chkxml iwtUserInfoProvider.xml
returned "Operation completed successfully".
So I know there is nothing wrong with the xml
file.
Any help in fixing this problem is gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Sahadev

Hi There,
The ipsadmin tool does not seem to be able to dynamically add any new attributes to a component. the best would be to do a "ipsadmin delete component iwtUserInfoProver" and then "ipsadmin -import iwtUserInfoProvider.xml" this should "update" the component with the new attribute.
HTH.

Cron job help- Need to run the Autobuddy command every night...

I have not written anything in the form of a Unix script for YEARS and YEARS. Our XServe was built in Advanced mode, currently running 10.5.4 Server. On this box, we are running Wiki and iChat. Since we built this box as an Advanced box the "Autobuddy" option was not available.
I have since enabled it at the command line, but I am told by Apple that there still needs to be a command run after every time a user logs in if you want others to Autobuddy. That command is this:
"sudo /usr/bin/jabber_autobuddy -m"
Now I think this would be pretty easy to setup as an automatic cron script, but like I said, I have not written something like this in forever. Not to mention, I am not 100% sure what needs to happen since running the script with an sudo command will prompt for the root password.
I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me write the script up, and give me some instructions on how to install it. I just want it run everyday, midnight is fine, I don't really care. All I know is that we have a dept of 150 people, and it grows and shrinks all the time. They can deal with a new user not being seen for 24-48 hours, I just want to get this automated.
Any helps would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks
Tom

If you want to keep it simple try [CronniX|http://www.abstracture.de/projects-en/cronnix] a graphical tool for setting up CRON jobs on OSX. Whilst I have not actually done an autobuuddy in this way, I cannot see any reason why it will not run as a Cron Job.
The proper way ideally would be to use the launchd service.
Something like this should work:

#30 | can i run the Terminal Command to stop Snapshots with no problems?

i am somewhat surprised to find out that the 75 GB of "Backups" that are taking up space on my MBP may be due to some "feature" in Mavericks or the new OS's or whatever and i have had to MOVE all my data off my laptop as a consequence of this over the last two months because i have no more space on my Hard Drive.
is it legit and OK to follow the terminal commands in #30 without having any problems?
i am on a mid 2009 MBP running Mavericks and i have a 2 TB Time Capsule that i am wirelessly backing up my data.
as some kind of sadistic test in advance of running this terminal command - can i plug my laptop into the Time Capsule, unplug the laptop from the time capsule, restart and see how much space got recaptured on my HD for my data?
i mean, well - i must be missing something but i mean i am hoping i can get this to stop so i can get my data back on my laptop. i'm walking around with an external HD of all my Mac Pro information just so i can get work done when i go to a coffee shop or something.

for those suffering through this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24878591#24878591
In Terminal:
sudo tmutil disablelocal
Turn off local Time Machine snapshots and trigger automatic cleanup of accumulated local snapshot data. Requires root privileges.
(use sudo tmutil enablelocal to turn back on)
this got rid of my 75 GB backup file (!!) and now i am going to move my data back to my laptop...
not sure if there is an apple tech article to link to regarding this issue but it would be good to post if there is one.

DMV quesiton. Can not run the DMV query in non system database.

As the title .I can run following query when I use 'use master' , But don't work at the DB which be created my myself.

Run the "nice" command on startup?

Hi all,
Since I've experienced overheating problems, I've dug a little and discovered this wonderful "nice" command, that's currently letting me install Windows 7 on a VM thanks to VirtualBox without turning my logic board into a critter. My question is, is there a way (and a good reason) to run this command right after booting up, say via AppleScript? I haven't noticed any sluggish behavior when running this command, but right now, VirtualBox is running, and my temp censor displays readings oscillating between 60°C and 70°C, far below the 120°C I've noted yesterday, right before my MBP shut down from exhaustion...
So, how-to...?
Message was edited by: Didier Caizergues

Get more memory. My system started paging like crazy when running Virtual PC.
The point of this topic was, how do I automatize this running "nice" in Terminal. I already added Terminal to my Startup Items, but it merely opens at the prompt, and I have to manually enter "nice", then return, to enter "nice mode". Haven't thought of typing "renice" since I started using this function...
You can invoke terminal ( unix ) commands from an applescript program. I am not familiar with nice, but the following applescript file did start up Windows. I could not figure out whether or not the nice command did anything.
The first thing that you need to do is to make the text into an AppleScript program.
Start the AppleScript Editor
/Applications/AppleScript/Script Editor.app
In Snow Leopard it's at: /Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor
Copy the script text to the Applescript editor.
Save the text to a file as an application and do not check any of the boxes below.
!http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3544/3390737677_645a847e28.jpg?v=0!
If you want access to the script from your Script Menu, move the script (the saved script application file) to your
~/Library/Scripts folder. You can also drag it to your Dock or make an alias for it on the Desktop.

You don't say what OS, but in Solaris 8 make sure:
ls -l /devices/pseudo/ip@0:ip
crw-rw---- 1 root sys 3, 0 May 3 2006 /devices/pseudo/ip@0:ip
And in 10:
$ ls -l /devices/pseudo/ip@0:ip

It's worth learning truss or dtrace, you can debug file open failures like this quite easily and quickly.

Exchange database whitespace removal

Hi,
How do we remove the white space from databases of exchange 2007.

Depends on which solution you are considering. If you create a new store and move the mailboxes you can limit the downtime because you can time the move to outside office hours and the user is only down in the time where his/her mailbox is actually being
moved.
If you want to defrag the database all the users on the store will be offline during the defrag, and the time it takes to defrag of course depends on the size of the database and the hardware it runs on.

Having trouble in running a unix command and getting the output

Here is the standard error of the command (if any):

You might read this article and see if its approach works.

Set env using a script and run the command (dependency on the env)

I need to set the env varaible by running a shell script with arguments as 'ksh setEnviron r6.1' and then run the command in the
same process. the command has dependency on the previous script which sets the env variables.
With Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd1); ,Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmd2); I am not able to execute the Cmd2 as it is running in different process.
How do solve this issue.
Is there any other method to run the command to set env variables and run the second command.(dependent on the env) to get the output.
Please help me out in this.

please correct me.
Do you think I used the '-i' argument just for fun? Did you do a 'man sh' and 'man bash' to see what the arguments do? If not then do it now.
Do you think I used Theads to process stderr and stdout just for fun? I've shown you the basic approach. I have shown you how you need to create Threads to process stdout and stderr. If you have not understood and you have not studied http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2000/jw-1229-traps.html then do so now.
